Search on Folders Stopped Working

pjd,

The tutorial below works just fine in Windows 7. You might give it a try to see if it may work for you as well. :)

Search - Add to Context Menu in Windows 7 and Windows 8

thanks brink - its more or less the same as the other one - so it's not surprising that it doesn't work either

But now I know I wasn't dreaming that it used to work. There must be something 'blocking' it

I might put it in the - make sure you 'fix' this when you do that long promised fresh install of w7 - list

pjd,

I've updated the tutorial in the post above. If you like, please try it instead to see how it works for you. I didn't need to log off/log on afterwards for it to be applied, but you may if it doesn't work right off.

I just installed it on mine. Works perfectly and didn't have to re-boot. Thank you , ever since he started this thread I've been thinking it was a good idea. I do seem to remember doing this before too..... could be mistaken. I have used many different context menu tools.

Thanks brink, still doesn't want to work - I have a feeling I know what 'broke' it - no names no pack drill. I can live without it, search of the drive is good enough

- great first you question whether I'm talking out of my hat - then you say what a good idea. No hard feelings, just amusing... Enjoy all your right click folder searching and thanks for your help :)

Since you know what may have broke it, please post back letting us know, and I'll see if I may be able to work a way to get it fixed if you like. :)
